Do Evangelicals Have A Future?

Christianity Today has an interesting article that asks a pertinent question for our times: “Do Evangelicals Have a Future?”. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Consumerism and relativism stand out as dominant cultural trends that seriously threaten the future of evangelical theology. When evangelicals over-contextualize their message in response, they strip the gospel of its transformative power. “To begin with, in our competition to be culturally ‘more relevant than thou,’ we have often forgotten that ‘what you win them with is what you win them to,” Jeffrey says. No few problems with discipleship can be traced back to this problem. The Baylor University professor goes on to observe, “Perhaps it is not too much to say that our ‘old, old story’ has been too frequently overshadowed by the glitzy show-biz media we have tended to use to proclaim it.”
